Abstract

Abstract o Summary

It is important that, in accordance with the quality standards demanded by the Universities, a humanistic training should be provided alongside the academic development, so it is possible to identify the students that face obstacles or difficulties involving family, personal or social issues that may affect their academic performance and the search for a possible solution that is given by means of correspondence between the teacher and student in the process of supporting him/her, which offers orientations and defined actions that promote the permanence of the students to achieve their professional goals. About 6 years ago, San Gregorio de Portoviejo University created the Department of University Welfare, whose members direct and execute the program of student support. The present research work has allowed to examine the process through a survey applied to a sample of the undergraduates during the period September 2016 February 2017.The obtained results confirm that a large part of the pupils, during the interviews, activities and formative events have been oriented and fully supported by the tutor in the process of supporting the student, but also a significant percentage of them stated that the process has not been of benefit in their university stay, which allows to consider that this process is not covering the total amount of the students, being necessary to analyze all the activities that were carried out in this process to establish changes and variations in the procedure of supporting the student  in order to accomplish welfare, support and permanence of the total of the scholars in this institution of higher education.

Key words: tutors, integral formation, college students, permanence, student desertion.
